Sorry for the loss. IDK the effectiveness of hotlines, counseling, or psychiatric help when the person him/herself is bent on commiting an act. These services can only help if the person admits or is admitted to receive help.

Well it was very sad, apparently he threw himself in front of a snow removal truck. I didn't ask for more details, I hope he didn't suffer. Is not surprising, He had a history of depression and he was on medication, like 2 weeks ago he tried to contact me and i was so busy I didn't called back, It bothers me that I didn't help, most because I saw how he changed after he started to take the medications.. basically the system push him to consider himself useless, he lived in a shelter home with other people with problems, sleeping, eating and more sleeping.
I remember my last conversation with him, we had breakfast at a weird bar :) near his house.
23 years old... I'll miss him
Thank you guys for listen

so sorry to hear about this.
don't beat yourself up, ultimately it was his decision.
i was in a similar situation a few weeks ago, had to call an ambulance for a friend who OD'd deliberately.
it really affected me, and my friend was fine, so you must be going through some heavy shit right now.
sadness is a natural and appropriate response... but make sure you exercise and eat healthily over the next few weeks so you don't sink.

The sad thing is that sensationalist headlines compounds the problem. When have you ever seen headlines that were optimistic about 'the economy' or house prices, unemployment. Media loves fear and pedals it hard and over-dials it.
